A medical assistant is reviewing a patient's lab results. The A1C level provides a measurement of the patient's average blood glucose concentration over which of the following periods?
The previous 2-3 months
The previous 2-3 weeks
The previous 24 hours
The previous 7-10 days
The hemoglobin A1C test measures the percentage of glycated hemoglobin, which reflects the average blood glucose levels over the preceding 2 to 3 months. This is because glucose remains bound to hemoglobin for the lifespan of the red blood cell, which is approximately 120 days. Daily glucose monitoring, in contrast, shows blood sugar levels at a specific moment in time.
